I’m always looking for a great book with tangible takeaways I can apply to my training, business or personal development. I’ve found the best book recommendations have always come from people I would consider of like-mind and generally focused on similar goals and values. So, I took it to our Facebook community of fitness professionals to see what books are on the top of their bookshelves, and as expected, the response was overwhelming! I pulled-out ten books focused on business and development (not in any particular order); more lists to come! Feel free to comment below with the most influential business books on your list.
